The Hong Kong movie All’s Well That Ends Well is released to celebrate Chinese New Year, which probably means that we are about to enter the Year of the Witless Sex Comedy. Kicking off with a “hilarious” montage showing women incapable of doing things like assembling flat-pack furniture, plugging in a computer and even walking down a flight of stairs, the film goes on to posit that what these ladies need is a man. Maxine, a divorcée, sets up Project Grateful Embrace, a website that pairs single men with women in need of help with the kind of job only a man can do. You know, like driving a car or carrying stuff. Staggeringly poor. 12A, 99mins
